A poem by Isaac Watts

Hymn 1:56 [We Sing The Glories Of Thy Love]

________________________________________________
Title:     Hymn 1:56 [We Sing The Glories Of Thy Love]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

The song of Moses and the Lamb; or, Babylon falling,
Rev. 15. 3. and chap. 16. 19. and 17. 6.


We sing the glories of thy love,
We sound thy dreadful Name;
The Christian church unites the songs
Of Moses and the Lamb.

Great God, how wondrous are thy works
Of vengeance and of grace!
Thou King of saints, Almighty Lord,
How just and true thy ways!

Who dares refuse to fear thy Name,
Or worship at thy throne?
Thy judgments speak thine holiness
Thro' all the nations known.

Great Babylon, that rules the earth,
Drunk with the martyrs' blood,
Her crimes shall speedily awake
The fury of our God.

The cup of wrath is ready mix'd,
And she must drink the dregs;
Strong is the Lord her sovereign Judge,
And shall fulfil the plagues.


[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:56 [We Sing The Glories Of Thy Love]
